I know Him....He is my...


If Hansraj College in New Delhi had 60 students as a part of its economics honors program in 1985, 59 out of them would have said this to their children today : "I know Shahrukh Khan, He was my classmate. He was such a wonderful person and friend of mine back in college days....and vagera vagera......." Similarly, other students of Sherwood college in Nainital would have said to their grandchildren : "I know Amitabh Bachchan, he was my classmate, we sat on the same bench also you know........Oh! God I wish him luck."

Yes, it's true, even a small connection to popular personalities brings us immense pride as we go about telling it to the entire society around us.

"I saw Hrithik during shooting of Krrish, he gave me an autograph also...here look at it....wow"
"I had met Indira Gandhi when she had come to our school for a meeting. See this photograph......"

We feel so happy to have been connected to BIG personalities and even the more excited to share with our friends and family. Even I have been associated with such a personality and i am just so terribly excited to share with you...

" I know God, He is my soulmate."

The Taj Mahal for him is his office

It's the seventh wonder of the world for many, monument of love for some, tourist spot for some, ideal place to shoot movies for some but for him this is his office. Lakhs of people around the world spend money to have one glance of this white marble but he comes here everyday to earn money. Hundreds and thousands of people throng to see it, but he is here all alone guarding it all the day. For some, to be at the Taj is a lifetime opportunity but for him his life starts and ends here itself. People from across the globe come to see this symbol of eternal love, his love - his family is alive because of this. This mahal of white marble is his ultimate destination, he has no other place to go. He cannot see the beauty in his office which others cant stop appreciating about. He cannot understand the reason why people across the globe call it a wonder, after all the taj mahal for him is his office.

Life is truly strange sometimes. Who knows the office where we are working might be a wonder for someone else but quite boring for us. Things around us, our home, office, friends may seem quite boring, old and routine but for others they may be beautiful, awesome and wonderful. As they said it, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the seeker."
